This should be relaying some novel piece of information. Another distraction, composed of our desire to constantly skip from one thought to the next - you look for it here like an anxious monkey swinging from tree to tree.
It should turn at around this point, surely, to inform you of something. I should be swinging this game around and carving my text into a gift, or an inspiring puzzle that will guide you to the next branch. Maybe it won't even give you lift-off. I'd imagine most this doesn't, yet we still find shelter in hiding in these attempts to bleed more experience from another reading.
A block of text, a book, a poem, a story.
It's a buffet of paths that still wind back around to the beginning. Some quote here. Some interpretive analysis of another mystic here. [Insert] A skeptic and humble reply.
You're still following me?

Fill my synapses
Blind my eyes
Sing rhythms in my head

Here, this link on recursion may prove enlightening.

Try a Google search for "recursion."
It comes back with, "did mean recursion?"

This is an example of repetition.
This is an example of recursion:

Here's some pretty cool recursion for y'all:
yo dawg, we heard you like life so we put the game of life within the game of life so you can live while you play the game of life while you play the game of life

Any perception of pattern is itself a pattern of perception, so all that can be known through knowing is the act of knowing the act of knowing.

There are no differences but differences of degree between different degrees of difference and no difference.

A common function needed everywhere in modern computing is finding the length of a given string. Commonly this is implemented using a recursive function. e.g.
// C Language code
int length(char* str){
if(str == NULL){
return 0;
} else {
return length(str, 0);
}
}
The function is considered recursive because it calls itself. While clever, pass this function too long of a string, and you can end up with a stack-overflow error, as it will eat up the active frames (ram/cache) with calls to itself.
